Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) continues impressing in Cannon Capital, finally feeling that he found a place where people appreciate him.

Club gave the episode a "B–" grade and wrote, "There's something kind of intoxicating about how little “The Promotion” does to set us up for a series finale, just as the incredible elasticity of What We Do In The Shadows' reality has always meant it could genuinely go anywhere now that it's time to tear everything down.
"[5] Katie Rife of Vulture gave the episode a 3 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "An ongoing thread in the series that “The Promotion” ties up satisfyingly is the presence of the cameras — sometimes acknowledged, sometimes not — that have been following our vampires around since the very beginning.
"[6] Myles McNutt of Episodic Medium and wrote "One of the big reasons why “creatures of the night interact with the human world” has been a reliable source of comedy across all six seasons of What We Do in the Shadows is that those scenes so savagely spoof how mundane and predictable we all are.
Heck, even Cravensworth's Monster can pass as “normal,” just by mastering the meaningless chit-chat that defines so much of our daily existence.
It's not as strong as last week's nearly five-star fare (although that's a tough bar to reach); however, it's a deceptively light and breezy episode.
